How much are the official bonnaroo shirts, like $30? And I assume bands will have merch tables... where will they be at? Are they around the stage when they are performing and how much would you think a shirt costs from a band?

Wanna pick up flaming lips shirt since I was out voted by my friends and gotta go see the black keys so I'll be missing them.

The official tees and other merch are all at the same place in centeroo. You'll know it when you see it. Bands don't have merch tables like they would at a club.And yeah, quack your friends. You're there to see who you want to, not who they want you to.

Semantics. But seriously I saw a ton of people doing this at Coachella. You think you're letting one cute short girl by you and then bam, she's with the entire men's lacrosse team.

It depends nach0. If you're looking to get one of the limited Bonnaroo festival or band specific poster by a big poster artist, they will sell out Thursday. But most of the tshirts won't, just maybe in a popular size. Keep in my mind since bands might be getting to Bonnaroo only for the day they're playing, their merch won't show up until that day. So Flips merch might not show up until Friday.

there will be merch tents all over the place. they all sell official bonnaroo merch, but there will be one big main merch tent in centeroo that sells merch from the bands that are playing. sometimes a band's merch will ONLY be there the day they're playing and sometimes it will be there for the whole thing or a couple days. if you want something from a specific band, get it when you see it.

don't worry about your group. if you worry too much about your group, you're going to waste your bonnaroo. you will have plenty of time to hang with your friends... if you want to see the flaming lips, then go see them and hook up after. the black keys rock, but this will be a special flaming lips performance of dark side of the moon.

seriously... if you go see the black keys instead of the flaming lips because your friends "voted you out", then you should just stick to lilith fair. no offense to lilith fair.

This reminds me, if I see any groups of ten holding hands to get through the crowd so they stick together I'm going to walk right through the line breaking it up. It's really annoying.

I brought all the girls that were camped next to me to the end of Crystal Castles' set. We get there to the edge of the tent and they start that train BS and start maneuvering into the packed tent. I didn't follow them and looked at the guy right next to me and we both shook our heads with the same "**** that" expression.

*Unofficial* Bonnaroo shirts are sold in the camp grounds by people walking around on sunday for cheap, you just need to find them... They look pretty good, too... I know you're not talking about Roo shirts, but if you were going for a FLips shirt i try getting it in the first 2 days.

i HATE that!. some 4 foot girl looks at you like "i can't see, i'm soo short :-(" and then you let her get in front of you and she looks back and waves her 8 foot tall sweaty dudes up to stand right quacking in front of you. . . ugh. it always happens to me at ween shows, i get there super early to get a view and still end up staring at someones back for most of the show. then they look at you all mad if you don't let them by. it's like dude you're 8 ft tall, can you not see from where you're standing? tall peoples to the back, shorties to the front- hollaaa.
